Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka Flame Address “Watch The Throne” Comparisons

There’s no shying away from the similarities between the Ferrari Boyz and Jay-Z and Kanye’s Watch The Throne projects. Both pit two pair of established superstar rappers and both were released this week. The elephant in the room is the massive iTunes plateau the Roc Boys achieved Monday morning, but Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka insist that there is no reason to feel discouraged. In fact, Waka even expressed to MTV that the comparison of the two camps is parallel to disrespect and “is like comparing Dirk Nowitzki to Larry Bird.”

Although, the gap in celebrity is acknowledged, the FB’z aren’t exactly small-timers themselves. Like Jay and ‘Ye, they too hope to embark on a nationwide tour, but only if they can get the assured five-figures a show they’re accustomed to as well as making it affordable for the fans.

Now there’s a difference that edges in their favor.

The Ferrari Boyz are sending a 21-condom salute to all the bust-it babies, bustdowns and busted bishes who hold them down in the wee hours of the night. If you’re an independent woman, you should be proud that Gucci and Flocka recognize your grind. This disc space could have been reserved for smoking weed while on parole or glorifying the $10,000 shoes on the whip. Nah, ma. This song right here is for you.

Show your gratitude by snatching their album off of Amazon now. It’s not easy maintaining that 458 when you release the same day as The Throne.

It’s funny hearing Sway ask the meaning of the name titles like they’re gonna have some sort of intricate metaphoric meaning…

What’s ‘Stoned’ about? How about ‘Homicide’? XD

They’re the working class version of “The Throne”, they make music for their audience of on the corner d-boys & girls with immense weaves, as Ye & Jay market their music to the fashionable & the artistic.

===========================================

Let’s not get it twisted, there’s nothing “superstar” about these two. They’ve had a hit or two and that’s about it.

this album will be way better than watch the throne, which was a hubristic, bromantic, and at times even pathetic attempt at getting classic status by cashing in favors and being obsessively over the top about everything.

FLOCKA!

Watch the Throne was OK, but I listened to it once and that was it so I could see what all the fuss was about. Kayne is a fuckin cornball. Ferrari Boys has already gotten more play.

Ferrari Boyz is hot garbage even by Gucci and Waka standards

Ferrari Boys is the better album for this reason alone: Watch the Throne is a celebration of Jay and Kanye’s acceptance into the aristocratic elite, while Ferrari Boyz is made for the streets.

I’m sorry, but how can a album less than a week old even be in the running for “classic” status. Y’all keep diluting meaning by handing out undeserved acclaim on anything these niggas breathe on. Let’s hope off that Jump to Conclusions mat for a second and let the shit soak in.

Recognize and realize the studio the photo above was taken in is legendary. Best in the south hands down. Patchwerk Recording Studios in Atlanta, Georgia.
